According to the satanic temple, it’s a religious ritual and constitutionally protected for that very reason. So thank you to these christofascists for, in their own myopic and ludicrously incorrect way, giving that argument some weight, I guess.

GILA! GILA!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. In the South this is still a legitimate safety issue. America is a racist shithole

We do not live in the same reality lol

That’s exactly what this is. It’s violence porn for right-wing psychos.

That was a wild read. Just quit playing the game dude lol it’s not that complicated

The Simpsons reference took me by surprise.

Clean sheet at the half, Joemez goal, and an Alisson header incoming.

Jesus fucking Christ dude your situation is exceptional because you make a fuck-ton more money than most people, it’s not a difficult reality to accept.

So uh… Who ya creepin’ on?

You’re just repeating over and over that you don’t understand what a primary is

Anyone have any context here? No idea what I’m looking at

There’s literally a whole right-wing movement who picked their name because it rhymes with “Civil War Two.”

But sure, calling attention to the very thing the right has been very loudly advocating for since at least 2008 is “predictive programming.”

That’s the part that’s been sticking with me as well.

That, and a creeping dread that 30% percent of the audience is going to view this film as either a masturbatory fantasy or an instructional video, but I imagine that’s probably Garland’s point.

It’s really not that grindy. There are multiple different endings, and if you want what most consider to be the best/most complete ending you’ll be playing for a while, but then then you don’t really need to spend any time xp milling

We know how it, by your definition, “works.” That’s the problem.

!iptv_subs@lemmy.opensupply.space There might be better places to look, but you can get started here. I’ve been on King TV for about two months now and it’s pretty legit. The stream quality isn’t as good as YouTube TV or FUBO, but for $15 a month I’m not complaining.

I quite enjoyed “Avogodro Corp” by William Hertling. It’s the story of an email predictive text engine that grows into something more than that. Simple story but an interesting thought experiment.

“The Nexus Trilogy” by Ramez Naam is more complex and has a much larger story, but it draws heavily on singularity theory, transhumanism, and posthumanism themes. The first book only touches on AI tangentially, but there’s a heavier focus on it later in the series.

“I Have no Mouth and I must Scream” is an extremely dark experimental piece that envisions a malicious AI as a mad god. It’s mentioned elsewhere in this thread and is absolutely essential if you’re going to be reading or writing about AI, in my opinion. This one is more psychological horror than hard sci Fi, but will stick with you forever.

Pretty sure they think it’s just a fancy word for homophobia

I’m an ardent supporter of Israel and their right to defend themselves in these extreme times. This isn’t that.>

Honest question: after this, will you still continue to be? Because they’re not done.
